and his earnest desire to have men love and trust him almost everyone even the most de praved loves a baby no one need fear a baby and the babe of bethlehem was the per fect manifestation of the heart of god who would have all men know that he became incarnate not to con demn but to save by becoming a little child him self our lord has changed the thoughts of untold millions as to the value and preciousness of the little ones christianity makes more of the children than any pagan re ligion system ever did it rebukes crime of infanticide which was accepted as a matter of course even among the cultured greeks and the highly civilized romans veisc by verse mattl18 before thev came together the scriptures are clear about the virgin birth of jesus his mother imary was engaged to jos eph but had not yet beer married to him when he learned that she was tobecome a mother through dir ect operation of the holy spirit and altogether apart rrom natural gener ation verse 19 minded to put her away privily if mary was not a virgin the penalty for her condition according to the law was death jos eph thought to save her from this verse 20 fear not to take unto thee mary thy wife the wonder ful mystery of the incarnation was revealed to joseph angelic ministry verse 21 thou shalt call his name jesus jesus from the greek and joshua from the hebrew are one name and the meaning of jehovah the saviour verse 22 that it might be ful filled this is a distinctive phrase in tliis gospel used often because the object of the inspired writer is to show that jesus is the messiah promised in the prophets verse 23 they shall call his name emmanuel god with us isaiah made this prediction nearly seven centuries before the fulfill ment the name given is an intim ation of the mysterious union of the divine and the human in the vir gins son verse 24 took unto him his wife he married her notwithstand ing hor condition that she might the place in israel of a wedded wife ere sho becamo a mother

townships first council from what could be learned the old council all stand for re election from reeve james ren- nie down no opposition is moot ed so far as the tribune can learn jesus obedient to the last detail by calling the child jesus jos eph evidenced the reality of his own faith we now pass over some thirty- three years to hear our lords own teaching concerning children and the kingdom chap 1s1 who is the great est in the kingdom of heaven we see how feebly the teaching of our lord regarding the true character of the kingdom had been apprehen ded by tile disciples verse 2 jesus called a little child in obedience to that call the little one came tohim and he drew i the attention of his discpies to it it was an act of faith the child came because he trusted the one who bad him come verse 3 become as little chil dren to enter the kingdom all must receive his word in childlike simplicity and act upon it in faith this is to be converted verse 4 whosoever therefore shall shall humble himself as this little child it is humbling to the pretensions of the natural man to have to yield to the call of christ and to be saved by faith rather than by personal effort vres 5 receiveth me the principle hert enunciated is all im portant to receive even a babe in the name of jesus is to acknowledge him in faith and therefore to re ceive him verso g whoso shall offend one of these

laid his hands on them what a privilege it was for those children thus to feel the touch of his hands and hear his words of blessing and wo may bo assured today that though now unseen he still reaches
